Copy with rare Signature of the holy Ksav Sofer in the lifetime of his father the Chatam Sofer - with a long proofreading in his handwriting!  Issur V'Heter, Prag 1784, חתימת יד קדשו של הכתב סופר: ”קניתי בעד מעות מעשר בסך שני זהובים ואיזה צ”ל ו”ו (ווינ”ע ווערונ”ג) תקצ”ח לפ”ק ובאתי על החתום הק' אברהם שמואל בנימין בהגמהרמ”ס (בן הגאון מורינו הרב ר' משה סופר) נ”י” Rabbi Avraham Shmuel Binyamin Sofer (1815 - 1871) was the renowned author of the Ksav Sofer. In the final days of the Chassam Sofer's illness, he placed his hands upon his son and appointed him as his successor in the Pressburg rabbinate. He said: ”Your grandfather Rabbi Akiva is upon your left, and your grandfather Rabbi Shmuel Schreiber is upon your left and the angel Ploni is upon your head, and I too will follow you and fulfill your words.” The Ksav Sofer related that at the time, his father's hands burned like wildfire. The Ksav Sofer succeeded his father's position at the young age of 24, carrying on his legacy. During his tenure, the Pressburg Yeshiva blossomed tremendously, to the point where the majority of Hungarian rabbis had studied by him. Rabbi Shimon Sofer, brother of the Ksav Sofer remarked: ”He was the successor of our father in its entirety, and did not move from anything that was his tradition… His image hovered over him the entire day and the Divine spirit was within him, and the Hand of Hashem was evident in all of his actions…”
